No new franchise has toppled a near 20-year franchise overnight. Fable was supposed to be the "Zelda killer", Killzone the "Halo killer", PS All-stars Royale clearly wanted to compete with Smash Bros, and now Yo-Kai Watch is gunning for Pokémon. I may be a die hard Pokémon fan, but I'm welcome to competition. Viz Media better have a game plan, because you don't just bare your fangs at the top dog without that dog growling back. Nintendo will probably up their game now, though.
I lost faith when I read it was being made for PC and Mac. Not that I have anything against the latters, but that means that this game is not being developed "with Wii U in mind", but rather the opposite. It has to be developed to fit both Wii U and PC/Mac, which isn't good.
@DanielHPoetry I finally figured it out (at 2am). I was afraid that the transfer would erase the memory on the SD card as well as the system memory. I didn't realize the SD card would be fine.
I'm totally lost. I have a 32gb micro SD on my Old XL. When I do the system transfer, where does this SD card need to be during the transfer? In my old 3DS, the New 3DS, or out entirely?
I got the Mugen battery for my XL a while ago, and I love it! Of course, I'm on my 3DS constantly. And the so called "extra weight" is not that big a deal. You get used to it rather quickly.
@GAMEandASH Yeah, Yoshi's Island was cool, but we ALMOST got a Super Mario World 2 from the team behind the CDi games. I shudder just thinking of it...
@TimeGuy Well, I was just adding this to the list of Capcom's "track record". "Oh, you want Mega Man Legends 3? Do the opposite! X in MvC3? Do the opposite! You DON'T want on-disc-dlc? Well, guess what were gonna do! "
For the record, I love Capcom, but I hate their excuses for the decisions they make.
@smikey No, they're not. The WII U is struggling, but aside from that:
•The 3DS sells like crazy
•Pokemon accounts for ONE-SIXTH of Japan's income; the entire country!
•Nintendo also owns the Seattle Mariners.
•Seriously, how could you overlook how much the 3DS sells?!

I hope the Tatsunoko Vs Capcom fight pad will work. It functions like the the Wii Classic controller.
